Chapter 14: Ape Demon Trap Formation!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Night came quickly. Su Jie, Yan Bin, and the members of the Flying Cloud Society gathered. Just like before, everyone wore a mask. Su Jie wore his ape mask again.

“Go. To the Sun family’s shop now.”

Yan Bin led twenty to thirty people to where the Sun family shop was located.

It was late at night and the weather was rather chilly. Snow was falling from the sky and every house’s lights were already off.

They arrived outside the Sun family’s shop.

Bang!

Some martial artists from the Flying Cloud Society broke in violently. However, strangely, the Sun family’s shop was empty.

“What’s going on? The Sun family provoked us. They should have known that we would take revenge. They shouldn’t have no one here!”

Yan Bin frowned as he looked at the empty shop. He had a bad feeling.

“Hmm? There are footsteps… more than one person’s!”

Beside him, Su Jie, who was wearing an ape mask, felt his ears twitching. He heard footsteps, a dense amount of footsteps. These footsteps were light and orderly as if they belonged to people who were well trained!

“There are soldiers! The soldiers are here!”

Outside, a martial artist from the Flying Cloud Society let out a warning.

“What?”

As soon as he said this, Yan Bin and the others’ expressions changed drastically. They knew that something was wrong and hurriedly wanted to leave. However, the street outside the Sun family’s shop was already surrounded by a large number of soldiers.

The soldiers were armored and armed with weapons. There were at least three to four hundred of them. They were densely packed and have completely surrounded this place.

“Damn it! We’ve been tricked! Why would the government offices come after us?”

When Yan Bin saw this scene in front of him, his face was darker than charcoal. The officials turned a blind eye to the secret internal strife present in Heiye City. Moreover, the Flying Cloud Society would spend money on the officials every year.

However, this time, when the Sun family provoked the Flying Cloud Society, the officials were waiting outside. It was obvious that they have been planning this for a long time and were here for the Flying Cloud Society!

This stunned Yan Bin.

“Soldiers… there are soldiers coming!”

“Oh no! Oh no!”

The twenty to thirty members of the Flying Cloud Society there were all trembling. They were brave and ruthless thugs of the Flying Cloud Society. However, they undoubtedly did not have the guts to fight against the government soldiers. At this moment, they were all trembling in fear like ants on a hot pan.

“Everyone on your knees! Drop your weapons and surrender!”

Among the soldiers, a burly man in silver armor who looked like the commander said coldly. His voice was not loud but it resonated in everyone’s ears. Clearly, he was someone of deep cultivation.

Yan Bin couldn’t help but respond: “Is this Commander Wang Wu from the government offices? Is this an order from Magistrate He? I think there’s some misunderstanding!”

Magistrate He was the magistrate of Heiye City. He had a good relationship with the Flying Cloud Society as the Flying Cloud Society bribed him a lot.

The commander in silver armor, who was called Wang Wu, chuckled as he taunted: “Lord He? He has been transferred out of Heiye City. Now, the new magistrate of Heiye City is Magistrate Zhou Yun. He has always hated evil and can’t tolerate any evil he sees. Surrender obediently! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed!”

“This …”

Yan Bin’s face under the mask was pale. The biggest backer of the Flying Cloud Society was gone.

“I see… It seems that the new magistrate of Heiye City is trying to establish himself and his authority. Therefore, he wants to make an example out of us.”

Beside him, Su Jie heard the conversation and roughly understood what was going on.

Tonight’s incident was all because the magistrate of Heiye City has changed. The new magistrate obviously wanted to use the Flying Cloud Society as a warning to others, which was why tonight’s incident occurred. He has lured the snake out of its hole and caught the Flying Cloud Society red-handed.

Su Jie also understood that the Flying Cloud Society was just a small secret society in Heiye City. In front of the officials, they definitely did not have the ability to resist. The Flying Cloud Society would most likely become a thing of the past!

“Sur… surrender!”

The 20 to 30 members of the Flying Cloud Society present were perturbed. However, none of them dared to attack the officers and soldiers. Furthermore, even if they dared to attack, it was completely useless for them since they faced 300 to 400 armed soldiers.

Everyone dropped their weapons and knelt obediently.

Yan Bin also felt bitter but there was nothing he could do now.

At this moment, Su Jie’s voice entered Yan Bin’s ears. “Master Yan, please don’t reveal my identity to the officials.”

As soon as he said this, Yan Bin looked at Su Jie for he could not help but feel puzzled. “Reveal his identity? He’s already been caught. What’s the difference?”

Evidently, Yan Bin did not understand what Su Jie meant.

As for Su Jie, chill air emanated from his face under the ape mask. He could not be captured by these government soldiers.

Firstly, Su Jie did not want to be at the mercy of others.

Secondly, it was because of Su Wu. Su Wu worked for the Divine Constable Bureau. As his son, if he was captured by the officials, it was very likely that he would become a stain on his reputation and affect Su Wu’s progression in the Divine Constable Bureau.

Therefore, Su Jie would never give up and let himself be captured!

Every member of the Flying Cloud Society dropped their weapons and knelt.

In contrast, Su Jie strode off into the distance.

“Don’t try anything! Give up resisting. We’ll be fine!”

Su Jie’s actions scared Yan Bin out of his wits so he hurriedly shouted at him.

Even if they were captured, they would at most be asked to disband the Flying Cloud Society and behave themselves. Their lives would not be in danger. However, from the looks of it, Su Jie was not prepared to give up. If they were to clash with the officials head-on, they would die in vain!

Yan Bin naturally did not understand Su Jie’s reason for doing this.

Commander Wang Wu, who was wearing the silver armor, frowned slightly. Was this unknown person wearing an ape mask still prepared to resist under such circumstances? The magistrate’s order was that it was best not to kill the members of the Flying Cloud Society. He only wanted to take them down and bring them to the government office for negotiation.

However, if the other party dared to resist, he deserved to be killed on the spot!

“Halt!”

When the fully armed soldiers saw Su Jie approaching, their eyes revealed killing intent as they hollered at him. They tightened their grip on their weapons and shields.

Su Jie did not pause. He sped up until he was running.

“Take him down!”

Seeing that Su Jie did not care about their advice at all, bloodthirst began to emerge on a team of four soldiers’ faces. With great coordination derived from their training, they took a step forward together. The tips of the spears in their hands emitted a cold glow, like cold stars blooming, as they tried to stab Su Jie.

These soldiers were well-trained. They practiced their spear attacks in groups of four countless times. They stabbed at Su Jie in a way where the only way to dodge was by squatting down and holding their heads to beg for mercy!

However, in the face of the four spears stabbing at him, Su Jie rolled his slender arms and grabbed all four spears with his fingers. With a burst of strength from his arms, he swung them.

“Ahhhhhh!”

Amidst the screams, the four armored soldiers cried out in surprise. They were thrown several meters away and landed heavily on the ground.

This scene shocked everyone. The four of them had a combined weight of at least four to five hundred pounds yet they were all sent flying by Su Jie?

They naturally did not know that Su Jie’s Ape Demon King Kong Fist was almost perfected. His arm had nearly 2,000 pounds worth of divine power and he could be considered a humanoid beast!
